Thats tropical....I can feel the warmth......it was 11 degrees here yesterday.....not good for early winter.

That is very pretty. We had that yesterday morning.

Love that lighting. That pic just sets a mood. I'm ready to pour a hot cup of coffee and settle in wit a good paper.

I'm so grateful for the additional lovely comments. Sheila and Sylvia, I'm proud and honored to have inspired you, because so much of what I've accomplished has been inspired by others, and to be able to pass that on is a privilege and joy. I'm happy to also pass on whatever I've learned in my garden to someone who may be in a similar situation and can utilize that knowledge. Sylvia, I'm thrilled that the drip watering is working for you. I never dreamt what a difference it would make for me. Sheila, I'm quite sure your tea garden will surpass mine because you have much more room and in a short time it's already grown so much. I feel that I can claim it as my godchild and will be so happy to see it grow and flourish. prettypetals and Steven, as a gardener whose work is not seen or appreciated by many in the real world, your praise means everything to me. Sharing is such an important part of it all.
